About this app

Background Camera is a high-quality background recording app that allows you to take photos and record videos without previewing them. Whether you are playing games, watching live broadcasts, listening to music, chatting, using other apps, or even if you don’t use your phone (the phone screen is locked), you can take high-quality photos, videos, and audios at any time and anywhere.

It is an APP commonly used by journalists and lawyers, and can also be used to record meeting content for business people in the workplace. Have you used other apps like the Secret Camera APP, the Background Video Recorder or Camcorder APP, the Silent Camera APP, or the Hidden Camera APP? Now you only need it.

Features :
★ Hide photos and videos from others.
★ PIN lock support & Hide app features, protect the folder contents with a password lock.
★ Create shortcuts on the phone’s home screen or add quick setting tiles in the notification bar for one-click starting recording.
★ Supported time setting or custom watermark text function. Add watermarks when recording, such as time text or other custom text.
★ Replace the APP icon on the desktop with another APP, such as compass or calculator APP.
★ Overlay a global black view on any other app (such as live apps or video chat) to simulate the phone screen being off. The “Force Full Screen” feature requires accessibility permission.
★ Take photos and record videos in the locked screen state by clicking the notification component in the notification bar.
★ Desktop widgets are supported, and you can customize the widget button style.
★ In the Black Screen mode, start/stop recording videos, taking photos, and recording audios through the “Volume” key or Bluetooth controller as if the phone is off.
★ Support front and rear cameras.
★ Auto-split video files.
★ Save to the removable SD card.
★ Save files to the album of your choice.
★ Unlimited video duration.

Due to mobile system limitations, the phone will enter power-saving mode and turn off high power consumption hardware such as the camera when the screen is off for a long time, causing abnormal video recording. Therefore, when you don’t use your phone for a long time while it’s recording videos, we recommend using the Black Screen Mode instead of pressing the power key to avoid the phone entering power-saving mode.

Most functions are free. Subscription version includes:
1. No ads.
2. Super black screen function with a black view that can overlay on any other app to simulate the screen being off.
3. One-tap quick shooting for quickly starting camera capture.
4. Background shooting while using other apps like playing games or watching YouTube for taking photos and recording videos.
5. Use gestures password to protect your files.
6. Hide media files that can only be viewed in our app and undetected by any other app.
7. Icon replacement to choose your favorite app icon style on the home screen.
8. Add time watermark or other custom watermarks to photos and videos.

Subscription is required to unlock all the above features. Thank you very much for your support. Of course, you can also unlock it for free by watching ads.

Important notices 2:
1. Do not open the camera of other apps while recording.
2. Do not manually click the power button to lock the screen during video recording.
3. Please use the black screen mode to simulate the screen off state.
4. Because notification bars and navigation bars are system components, accessibility services are required to hide them. We will not obtain user sensitive data through this service.

This app has potential but I couldn't find the files after taking photos. In addition, the pop up ads were horribly obnoxious. After my frustration overcame me, I attempted to delete the app but it wouldn't delete. Finally, using additional software I was able to get rid of the app and all of its files. This doesn't appear to me to be an honest operation. Read about the data it collects.

Disappointed that after purchasing that sd card storage options shown are not supported. It's been a long time since I purchased the app and still no ability to save videos to my SD card. The app has what appears to be setting to switch to the SD card but they do not work

The free version of the app is very frustrating, but I bought a monthly subscription and found that it was solid enough and kept its promise. My main issue is that I can't find a way of opening the videos in other apps, for instance to edit them, even though I've deactivated the option to hide the media. If I can't open the videos in other apps, it's completely useless. I've already sent 2 emails to support, but no reply so far.

You can find video files to operate through the pre-installed File Management APP. The storage information of the file is displayed on the Personal Center ~ Storage Settings page.
